On his last birthday he dreamt that the Apollo of Temenos,? a statue of remarkable size and beauty, which he had brought from Syracuse to be set up in the library of the new temple,? appeared to him in a dream, declaring that it could not be dedicated by Tiberius. A few days before his death the lighthouse * at Capreae was wrecked by an earthquake. At Misenum the ashes from the glowing coals and embers which had been brought in to warm his dining-room, after they had died out and been for a long time cold, suddenly blazed up in the early evening and glowed without cessation until late at night.
